Chris Bonington quotes

I look at climbing not so much as standing on the top as seeing the other side. There are always other horizons in front of you, other horizons to go beyond and that's what I like about climbing. (Chris Bonington)

Chris Bonington
If you're going climbing with young people, you get very, very used to seeing your climbing partner as a tiny little dot. View quote
